SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
Danger That Cleveland Will Not
Live Through His Term

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Dr. q. 7.
| Sewers, one of the most prominent
physicians of Washington, in an inter-
view with a reporter to-day, declared
there is danger that President Cleve-
land will not live through his term.
unless there is a change in his mode
| of living. DIR. Sewers, six months be-
fore this mornings illness. made the
same prediction with regard to the
Secretary, and advised his friends to
warn him OF his danger. In an inter-
view to-day, Sewers says it may be
deemed impertinent to talk to the
President through a newspaper man,
but / know of nc other way OF reach
ing him and those about him so surely.
You recall my attempts with the
friends OF Manning, and their fruit,
and | do not feel that | should take
the same chances in this matter. l
am personally appraised of the Presi-
dents condition, and while it is in no
sense dangerous, it will not be long
before there will be reaso for alarm.
President Cleveland is a large, feshy
man, and since he came to the White
House has gained enormously in flesh.
Now, when he lived in Buffalo it was
his habit to take long walks, but
| since he came here, however, he has
abandoned every kind of exercise,
save carriage riding, and that is OF lit
tie or no use, with the springs now in
use, and the smooth streets, for which
Washington is famous. The Presi-
dent is a man who works with his head a
great deal, is in fact an intense brain
worker. He is, in other words, a
plodder, and his brain is consequently
filled with an excess of blood. What
is the result ? He works with his
head, eats enormously, and fails to
exercise his muscles. His blood YES
sells are weakened, and it is only a
question of time, when, in a moment
of excitement, he burst a blood vessel.
l tell you, at the rate President Cleve-
: land is now living there is great dam
ger that he will not live throughout his
term. Something should be done to
> bring him to realize his danger, and
t take proper steps to prevent a result
which will surely ensue if he fails to
take proper exercise. What l should
recommend, would be the fixing up OF
: a room in the White House, and the
4 setting apart of half an hour every
t day for gymnastic exercise. That
alone, in my opinion, will prevent a
catastrophe, the avoidance of which
not only the President, but the
I country at large, is interested in secur-
/, ing.
A Boys Confession OF Murder.
II ST. LOUIS, March 22.-One year ago
e this month, one of the bloodiest muir
0 ders Of human beings ever known,
was committed near Erie, Kansas.
q J. w. Sell, a well-to-do farmer, and
| his whole family, excepting one son,
2. Willie, a boy Is years old, were found
murdered. The heads being crushed
and their threats cut. There has been
great diversity OF opinion as to whether
:. Willie Sell committed the murder. On
the tlial there was no evidence, and
6 they failed to find any motive for the
crime. On the contrary, it was proven
that Willie was an exceptionally good
boy, and that he and his sister Ina were
more than commonly fond of each
other. The boy confessed last night
{ that his father, on the night of the
murder, had a quarrel with his son
Watt, when the latter struck his
father with Ratchet. Willie obtained
the Ratchet from Watt and knocked
} Watt down. The mother and sister
came into the room screaming, and
Willie knocked them down. In his
frenzy he cut his brother Watts throat.
, He then declared that if any of the
; others came to life he feared they
would declare that he had killed
Watt, and SO he cut their threats. The
recital corresponds to the facts as as
certained at the trial.
Passengers Transferred.
BISMARCK, March 22.-To-morrow,
those of the three hundred delayed
passengers now here, who wish to
cross the river, will be transferred in
boats. As soon as the water subsidies
sufficiently repairs will be made to the
Northern Pacific bridge, which can be
put in shape for use in two days. At 10
O'Clock tonight the river is stationary.
There will be but little delay in travel
from now on, whether the water sub
sides O not. People are continually
passing between here and Mardan in
boats. About the only trouble at that
place is the inconvenience occasioned
by the flooded easements and cellars.
Three Interstate Commissioners
Decided Upon.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The Star
tonight says: Colonel Lamont ad-
mitted to-day that the President had
decided upon three of the five Inter
state Commissioners, but said it was
not proper to say anything about the
